probably an obscure name that some WBS Penguins' fans would remember and it's not really noteworthy enough to make another thread for.

Ryan Lannon has retired from hockey at age 30 due to back problems. Lannon had planned on returning to KalPa this season, but instead announced his retirement last Wednesday. Lannon was drafted by the Penguins in the 2002 draft and played in W-B/S from 2005 until 2008.

Ryan contacted on Wednesday and told reporters that he now feels the right time to move ahead in life. Ryan has a big back injury and he is opening a new career, these times will be established by the company.
